Jacob & Co., luxury jewelry and timepiece manufacturer has teamed up with French carmaker Buggati to create an exclusive wristwatch. Based on Buggati Chiron hyper car, the limited edition timepiece comes with a hefty price of $280,000. The manual winding movement is depicted in 3D and is working miniature representation of supercar’s W16-cylinder engine, complete with pistons and a crankshaft.

Dubbed Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, this exclusive auto-inspired timepiece is intricately designed after the movement of Buggati Chiron. The manually wound movement comprises 578 hand-assembled components. It took about a year for Jacob & Co. to develop this complex watch. However, the most impressive feature of the watch is the movement of 16 tiny pistons similarly to a Buggati engine. You just have to push a button to rotate the crankshaft which in turn drives the pistons. Crafted from a single piece of steel, this crankshaft is one of the smallest and complex parts ever to be made for a watch.

Moreover, the baseplate and movement of Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is suspended inside the case by four struts which look like shocks of a car. Interestingly, these shocks allow the movement to hover up and down a little inside the case during wearer’s movement. The timepiece comes with a one-minute tourbillon cage inclined to 30 degrees. It can be seen from a small vent which is inspired from iconic Buggati horseshoe grill.
